Windows NT 3.51 RAS Server Ignores Newly Added Serial Ports (138226)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
This article was previously published under Q138226 SYMPTOMS
When you allow Remote Access Service (RAS) clients to connect to the RAS
server after you add more physical serial ports and configure the RAS
server service to use these serial ports, the number of clients that can
connect is still limited to the original number of RAS ports and the
following message appears in RASADMIN for the added ports:
This symptom occurs on a computer running RAS under Windows NT Server with
only the TCP/IP and NWLink protocol installed. CAUSE
This problem occurs because the number of RAS serial ports in the registry
is not being updated when you add RAS serial ports in Control Panel.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, in Control Panel Network applet on the Windows
NT RAS server, install NetBEUI, remove and reinstall the Digiboard driver
and RAS.
NOTE: When you install the NetBEUI protocol, the registry entries for the
modem ports are updated properly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
